Some of the stages are held on forest tracks that have tree trunks and stones on the insides of many corners. They can also be very fast and bumpy in places. We don’t have much precise data about how our tyres are likely to perform here but we have placed the emphasis on safety by nominating the medium- and hard-compound versions of the LTX Force, which are more versatile. We are especially keen to see how ‘El Puma’ goes. It’s more than 30km in length and looks similar to a Rally GB stage. There could be a lot of ‘road-sweeping’ if the weather is dry but wear-rates aren’t expected to be very high.” MICHELIN’S TYRES FOR THE 2019 RALLY CHILE Michelin Michelin Latitude LTX Force Cross S80 (soft) and Michelin Latitude 3 Drivers can use up H4 M6 Cross H90 (hard) (hard) (medium) to 28 tyres from WRC an allocation of 28 WRC2 3 Drivers can use up to 26 tyres LTX Force M6s and from an allocation of 26 S80s 16 LTX Force H4s and 16 H90s Itinerary Practically all the stages take place on privately-owned ground The compact route visits three Chilean provinces: Concepción, Biobío and Arauco The majority of the stages take place between the Pacific coast and the Biobío River The service park is hosted by the Casino Marina del Sol The stages ‘El Puma’ (SS2/4) is the longest stage of the rally (30.72km) and is described as Chile’s ‘Ouninpohja’!

    Hyundai Motorsport Targets Titles in 2019 FIA World Rally Championship

    Hyundai Motorsport targets titles in 2019 FIA World Rally Championship Hyundai Motorsport has outlined its ambitions to compete for the FIA World Rally Championship manufacturers’ and drivers’ titles in 2019 Revised crew line-up sees Thierry Neuville and Andreas Mikkelsen tackle the complete season with Dani Sordo scheduled for eight rounds and Sébastien Loeb for six. Under new Team Director Andrea Adamo, Hyundai Motorsport will contest its most comprehensive season in WRC to date with 14 rounds, including a new event in Chile. Birmingham, UK January 11, 2019 – On the eve of the official WRC season launch at the Autosport International show, Hyundai Motorsport has outlined its intentions to compete once again at the very forefront of the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC), with its sights set firmly on the manufacturers’ and drivers’ titles. The team finished as runners-up in 2018, for the third time in a row, having taken the title fight down to the wire. In one of the closest, most hotly contested seasons in recent years, a three-way battle was only concluded at the season finale in Australia. Running a revised crew line-up and with an extended calendar of 14 rounds in 2019, Hyundai Motorsport will aim to revisit the competitive form that helped it score three victories and 11 podium finishes last season. With WRC’s regulations remaining stable, the team has been able to evolve the technical foundations of its rally winning Hyundai i20 Coupe WRC. All aspects of the car have been rigorously assessed in order to perform consistently across all terrains in the coming season.

    2018 Dakar // SS3: More Bad Luck for X-Raid

    2018 Dakar // SS3: More bad luck for X-raid Nani Roma out of the race due to an accident Dakar stays in San Juan de Marcona for a loop Today, after two days at Pisco, the Dakar participants hit the road to San Juan de Marcona. In the 296-kilometre special stage, the MINI John Cooper Works Rally pairing Jakub ‘Kuba’ Przygonski (POL) / Tom Colsoul (BEL) secured ninth place, two positions ahead of Boris Garafulic (CHI) and Filipe Palmeiro (POR) in a second MINI JCW Rally. Orlando Terranova / Bernardo ‘Ronnie’ Graue (both ARG) came 16th. While Joan ‘Nani’ Roma and Alex Haro (both ESP) had an accident at the very end of the stage and were forced into retirement. By finishing ninth in another difficult stage, Przygonski secured 11th position in the overall standings. “The sun was shining virtually vertically from the sky and therefore, seeing anything in the dunes was nearly impossible,” revealed the young Pole. “Furthermore, we were stopped by a puncture but changing the tyre did not take us a lot of time. Later we hit a rock in a riverbed but this incident had no consequences.” Following yesterday’s bad luck – the collision with their team-mates – Boris Garafulic (CHI) and Filipe Palmeiro (POR) had a clearly better day, today. “We completed the stage without encountering any problems,” said the Chilean. Unfortunately we had to witness when we reached the finish that Nani had an accident.” Meanwhile, Terranova and Graue had anything but a good day. “We got lost several times and in addition we had to change a damaged tyre,” Terranova said annoyed.

  • Successful Rally Chile Debuts for the MICHELIN LTX Force M6 and MICHELIN LTX Force H4

    Successful Rally Chile Debuts for the MICHELIN LTX Force M6 and MICHELIN LTX Force H4

    MEDIA INFORMATION 2019 FIA World Rally Championship Round 6: COPEC Rally Chile Successful Rally Chile debuts for the MICHELIN LTX Force M6 and MICHELIN LTX Force H4 The first Rally Chile to count towards the FIA World Rally Championship has been described as a blend of Australia, Finland and Wales by the players who were in South America for the landmark event. The country’s first WRC qualifier featured a broad spread of humidity levels and temperatures which had a big influence on car set-ups and, of course, tyre strategies. The stages – the majority of which were located near the Pacific coast – threw up a wide variety of surface types, ranging from those with a sandy top-coating reminiscent of Rally Finland, to harder, stone- or gravel-littered roads. There was also a certain amount of mud due to the week’s showery weather. The morning starts tended to be chilly and the thermometer failed to climb much higher than 20°C during the afternoons. Fog was an issue at times, too. To cover this assortment of conditions, Michelin provided its WRC partners with a choice between the medium-compound MICHELIN LTX Force M6 and the harder MICHELIN LTX Force H4, while those WRC2 runners competing on the French firm’s products could choose between the soft-compound MICHELIN Latitude Cross S80 and the hard MICHELIN Latitude Cross H90. Given the chilly weather and the variety of stage surfaces, the softer of the two options turned out to be the predominant fitment, although some drivers attempted different strategies at times, including Sébastien Ogier (Citroën C3 WRC) who left service for Saturday afternoon’s loop of three tests carrying three MICHELIN LTX Force H4s and two LTX Force M6s, while his rivals all opted for five LTX Force H4s.
